It’s birthday week in our house! By the end of this week we will have a 10-year-old and a 6-year-old. One of our family traditions is creamed eggs on toast for breakfast the day of the kids’ birthdays - with candles stuck into the piece of toast, of course.

I’ve been having lots of pregnancy dreams lately, but I’m not the only one. So has my sister’s sister-inlaw. We are both eagerly and impatiently waiting to become aunts (my fourth time - but her first time) and are having more baby related dreams than my sister is!
